Journal ArticleDOI

Syncytin is a captive retroviral envelope protein involved in human placental morphogenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of recombinant syncytin in a wide variety of cell types induces the formation of giant syncytia, and that fusion of a human trophoblastic cell line expressing endogenousSyncytin can be inhibited by an anti-syncytin antiserum, and thus may be important in human placental morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression cloning of a functional glycoprotein ligand for P-selectin

TL;DR: The expression cloning of a functional ligand for P-selectin from an HL-60 cDNA library is reported, and the predicted amino acid sequence reveals a novel mucin-like transmembrane protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of myostatin in adult mice increases skeletal muscle mass and strength

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that myostatin acts postnatally as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and suggest that hisostatin inhibitors could provide a therapeutic benefit in diseases for which muscle mass is limiting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Program death-1 engagement upon TCR activation has distinct effects on costimulation and cytokine-driven proliferation: attenuation of ICOS, IL-4, and IL-21, but not CD28, IL-7, and IL-15 responses.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-7 and IL-15 restore proliferation under conditions of PD-1 engagement by enhancing high-affinity IL-2R expression and hence,IL-2 responsiveness, and thus, STAT5 has been implicated in the maintenance of IL- 2Rα expression.
